The big announcement came a few days after director Roa shared that her dream would be fulfilled if her movie was selected as&nbsp;India's official entry at the 2025 Academy Awards.

“My dream would be fulfilled if it was, if it would go (to Oscars). But it's a process, and I'm hoping it'll (Laapataa Ladies) be considered. I'm sure the best film will go, whoever they choose in the scheme of things,” Rao told news agency PTI. &nbsp;

Released in March, the movie garnered outstanding response from critics and audiences alike.&nbsp;Set in rural India, the film&nbsp;tells the empowering story of two brides, who accidentally got swapped during a train journey. The movie gives a strong message on gender equality,&nbsp;women's education and empowerment.

The film features&nbsp;Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastav and Pratibha Ranta in the lead roles alongside Ravi Kishan, Chhaya Kadam and Geeta Aggarwal Sharma.

The movie has been co-produced by actor Aamir Khan. Interestingly, Khan has also produced and starred in the movie Lagaan,&nbsp;which was&nbsp;the third Indian film&nbsp;to be nominated for the&nbsp;Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film&nbsp; 
after&nbsp;Mother India&nbsp;(1957) and&nbsp;Salaam Bombay!&nbsp;(1988). Hope Laapataa Ladies also&nbsp;found a mention in&nbsp;the final list of nominations.

<h2>Laapataa Ladies Review:</h2>

Wion's film critic Shomini Sen wrote in her review that Kiran Rao's film feels like a giant warm hug

The review of the movie reads, ''The story may be set in fictitious locations but the problems are real. The beauty lies in the brilliant screenplay by Desai and Divyanidhi who adapt the story from writer Biplab Goswami and manage to put a smile on the face with little details. As she waits for her husband to come back looking for her, Phool befriends a beggar, a street vendor, and a chai&nbsp;wali&nbsp;at the station. The four form an unusual bond with Phool learning a thing or two on feminism from the elderly lady who gets work at her shop,'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-laapataa-ladies-review-kiran-raos-film-feels-like-a-giant-warm-hug-695341">read the review here.</a>
